A. 
If, in the judgment of the director, fee amounts calculated pursuant to Section 4.110.200 or 4.110.210 do not accurately describe or capture the impacts of a new development on roads or parks, the department may conduct independent fee calculations and the director may impose alternative fees on a specific development based on those calculations. The alternative fees and the calculations shall be set forth in writing and shall be mailed to the feepayer.
B. 
If, in the judgment of the school district, none of the fee categories or fee amounts set forth in Section 4.110.220 accurately describe or capture the impacts of a new development on schools, the school district may conduct independent fee calculations and submit such calculations to the director. The director may impose alternative fees on a specific development based on the calculations of the school district or may impose alternative fees based on the calculations of the department. The alternative fees and the calculations shall be set forth in writing and shall be mailed to the feepayer.
C. 
If a feepayer opts not to have the impact fees determined according to Section 4.110.200 or 4.110.210, then the feepayer shall prepare and submit to the director an independent fee calculation for the development activity for which a site development activity permit or certificate of occupancy is sought. The studies and data submitted shall show the basis upon which the independent fee calculation was made. The formulas and methodology used by the feepayer must be the same as those used in the road study or park study, and the cost per trip for road impact fees shall be the cost per trip set forth in Section 4.110.200.
D. 
If a feepayer opts not to have the impact fees determined according to Section 4.110.220, then the feepayer shall prepare and submit to the school district an independent fee calculation for the development activity for which a site development activity permit or certificate of occupancy is sought. The studies and data submitted shall show the basis upon which the independent fee calculation was made. The formulas and methodology used by the feepayer must be the same as those used in the school study. The school district shall review the independent fee calculation and provide an analysis to the director concerning whether the independent fee calculation should be accepted, rejected, or accepted in part.
E. 
Any feepayer submitting an independent fee calculation will be required to pay Kitsap County a fee to cover the cost of reviewing the independent fee calculation. The fee required by the county for conducting the review of the independent fee calculation shall be an amount established by the board by resolution and shall be paid by the feepayer prior to initiation of review.
F. 
While there is a presumption that the calculations set forth in the roads study, parks study, and the schools studies are valid, the director shall consider the documentation submitted by the feepayer and the analysis prepared by the school district, but is not required to accept such documentation or analysis which the director reasonably deems to be inaccurate or not reliable, and may, in the alternative, require the feepayer or the school district to submit additional or different documentation for consideration. The director is authorized to adjust the impact fees on a case-by-case basis based on the independent fee calculation, unusual circumstances or characteristics of the specific development, and/or principles of fairness. The fees or alternative fees and the calculations shall be set forth in writing and shall be mailed to the feepayer, and, with respect to school impact fees, to the school district.
G. 
The director is authorized to determine that case-by-case adjustments to impact fees that result from an independent fee calculations have general applicability, and will be considered a replacement for the adopted rate as though it were an amendment to the rate schedule; provided, that the director shall cause any such adjustment to an impact fee rate to be listed in, or appended to, all information provided by the county regarding impact fee rates.
